Restaurants near Newport Beach Hotel

I took my wife and kids out for Valentines dinner on a beautiful Saturday’s night. We had a great time. The food and view were amazing. We can’t wait to go back.

From the moment we walked in, the warm, intimate ambiance set the perfect tone for our Valentine’s Day dinner. The restaurant had a carefully curated menu, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. One standout dish was the grilled artichoke—it had a bold, smoky flavor that was truly enjoyable. However, the texture was a bit too tough, making it difficult to chew and swallow, almost like chewing on gum. It was the only slight drawback in an otherwise exceptional meal. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was simply enchanting. Soft lighting, cozy seating, and an inviting energy made the evening feel special. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience one that made our Valentine’s Day truly unforgettable.

It was an amazing time, even for our toddler. The chef was so interactive with our little one through the window and provided dough, sauce, and cheese to make his own pizza. It can be challenging to dine with little ones, but the entire staff engaged with our child and they had a blast thanks to the friendly staff. Food was amazing as usual - it is the best pizza you’ll have in California. Pasta was cooked to perfection as well. I look forward to visiting again with our little one.

One word - Amazing!!! I’ve been here weekend and weekday. Foods were excellent every time and the service was outstanding ! Definitely will recommend to friends and family! And the ocean view is beautiful!

We will be returning when in the area. The service, food and atmosphere could not have been better. One of our party of three was delayed due to the severe weather conditions and the wait was not uncomfortable as the owner and our server were very accommodating. We shared a great conversation about food and the quest for good tasting ingredients. My broccolini was cooked to perfection, the Caesar was just like they just picked it for the meal. My wife's Gnocchi shrimp was melt in her mouth delicious. Our guests Penne Vodka with sausage was as good as any you will find outside of Italy. What more can one say other than this gem of a restaurant is well worth the drive to experience yourself.
